Shopping Bag Patterns

Sewing your own reusable shopping bags is not only fun but also a way to be kind to the environment! Once you’ve made your own fabric market bags, you won’t have to rely on the plastic and paper bags supplied by grocery stores. If you want to find a shopping bag pattern to sew, we’ve got several to choose from!

We like to choose reusable grocery bag patterns that are roomy and can support heavy items like cans, produce, and drink bottles. You can even use insulated fabric to make a cooler bag for items from the freezer section. A shopping bag pattern with a flat bottom is a great choice because you can use our mesh fabric to make a false bottom, adding extra sturdiness to your fabrics. Looking for pockets in your reusable grocery bags pattern? We love big pockets for tucking a wallet and shopping list inside, so you can ditch your shoulder bag and focus more on groceries.

A quilted shopping bag pattern like the Improv Tote will allow you to use many of your favorite fabrics to create a shopping bag with major style! A reusable market bag pattern is a great project for beginners to sew because it’s practical, makes a great gift, and can be sewn with only straight lines! Once you choose a pattern for reusable shopping bag making, you might have fun setting up a workshop day with friends to sew a whole bunch of bags. Have fun “shopping” for your own shopping bag patterns!
